Plaza Mayor, Cáceres, Central square with porticoed walkways in Cáceres, Spain.
The Plaza Mayor features stone pillars supporting semicircular arches that create covered walkways around the perimeter of the rectangular space.
The square originated in the 12th century as a gathering space for an annual fair, evolving into the main commercial center during the 14th century.
Local residents and visitors gather at the numerous cafes and restaurants beneath the porticoes, continuing centuries of social traditions.
The square connects to Calle Pintores, the main shopping street, and provides access to the historic district through the Arch of La Estrella.
Three-story buildings surround the plaza, with 16th-century arcades offering protection from sun and rain through stone-supported arches.
